Use the example above as a guide if you are having trouble. You can also refer to problem 3-64 for help with prime factorization.
This problem is very similar to part (a). It may also be helpful to think about how
relates to . What prime factors could you multiply by to get ?
Is there any way to break
down to prime factors? It is possible for a number to be the only prime factor of itself.
